Lludd, the son and successor of King Beli Mawr, is the main character of the story Cyfranc Lludd a Llefelys ( "The Story of Lludd and Llefelys " ), which was associated with the Mabinogion later, however, is not attributable to the original four branches of the Mabinogi. Lludd, the king of Britain, asks his younger brother Llefelys, the King of France to rid his kingdom of three plagues. This legend has been found in Geoffrey of Monmouth 's Historia Regum Britanniae their place and joined the group of stories to Beli Mawr. Its children include sons Afallach, Lludd and Gwydyon and daughter Arianrhod.

The figure of Lludd is closely associated with the Irish Nuada, and thus also with the Celtic god Nodons. After Birkhan the name Lludds should therefore actually be getting Nudd, but the reason for the different shape of the Celtic philology not been explored.
